The Kelssek Hockey League (KHL) is the highest level of ice hockey competition in Kelssek. The KHL is the most popular domestic sports league in Kelssek measured by match attendance and television audience. The KHL's logo features the Premiership pennant, which was first awarded to the team with the best regular season record in 1896.
The national championship, the Desjardins Cup, is decided through a tournament held after the conclusion of the KHL regular season. The top four teams of each division qualify for the octo-finals of the Desjardins Cup playoffs. The four teams with the next-best overall records, regardless of division, also qualify for the Desjardins Cup tournament. Each round is then contested as a best-of-seven playoff series.
The league consists of 30 teams divided into three regional divisions of 10 teams each, known as the Northern League, Pacific League, and Western League. Every league season, each team plays four times against other teams in their division and once against teams from the other divisions. The last-place team of each division is relegated to the Hockey Kelssek Nationwide League, which in turn promotes three teams to replace them.
The KHL sends four teams to represent Kelssek in the Hockey Champions League, consisting of the Desjardins Cup champion and the three division winners, or the team with the next-best regular season record if the Desjardins Cup champion was also a division winner.
